Nigeria warns that schools in 14 states, including Abuja, could be targeted for kidnappings.

A government agency, formed after the Chibok abduction, is taking action based on data collected to protect these schools.

The states at risk include Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Benue, Yobe, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Plateau, and Zamfara. This comes amid a rise in kidnappings across Nigeria.

In a recent incident, students and women were kidnapped from a school in Gada, Sokoto.

Parents of the abducted students are pleading with the government for help.

This information is based on BBC reporting.

It underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures to safeguard schools and protect students from harm.
